    Hi everyone. I am new to omegaforums as well as vintage watch collecting in general. I think for my first vintage watch I really like longines or universal geneve. In looking for vintage longines I came across this prior auctioned piece.

    http://www.zeitauktion.com/verkäufe/*-132243.html?lang=en

    I tried searching the reference number they listed (3446), but I cant seem to find another watch like this one. I have seen similar longines flyback chronos from the 40s and 50s with the 30CH movement but they all have white dials like this one:
    http://www.chrono24.com/en/longines/chrono-30ch-etanche-new-old-stock--id2578338.htm

    Is the black dial watch a redial (I can't read the website but it looks to me like they say it is from the 50s)? Also, the case looks pretty new to me as well. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    IMO, the dial is unquestionably redone.

    The case is more likely to be original, but overpolished.
